But those attitudes might be slowly changing. Now that porn is becoming more and more mainstream, porn stars are becoming bona fide celebrities with huge social followings, and that means real cash. And somebody used their free left hand to grab a calculator and add up the numbers, to come up with the 10 richest female porn stars in the world. You can check out the (somewhat NSFW) video here, which lists their net worths, and the takeaway is pretty much that you can earn a f*ckton of money, by, well, f*cking people a ton on camera.

Given, of course, that you’ve never heard of any of these women before, it’s worth pointing out that these aren’t your run-of-the-mill porn stars, and a lot of them have shown some serious smarts and business acumen. Lisa Ann (No. 8) for example, dabbles in production, makeup, and owns her own successful day spa. Sunny Leone (No. 7) was studying pediatric care before she found out she could make more money in a somewhat less orthodox way. Sasha Grey (No. 6) busted onto the scene with extremely hardcore porn, but now spends her time as a mainstream actress and a respected advocate for the industry. The point is, these girls would probably have talented in whatever industry they went into — theirs just happened to be the business of getting freaky on camera.

Sasha Grey

As one of the most known porn stars in the world, Sasha Grey shocked and delighted audiences with boundary-pushing hardcore scenes. Retired at 21, she is known as one the smartest people (formerly) in the industry, and has since seen a more mainstream acting career taking off.

Jenna Jameson

The mainstream face of porn, Jenna Jameson became the richest porn actress ever with a series of high-profile gigs, sex toys and mainstream acting roles. She even was once married to UFC legend Tito Ortiz. The “Queen of Porn” is perhaps the one pornstar that everyone will admit to having heard of.
